CURLlNG-lRON-HEATING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 659,604, dated October9, 1900.

Application filed December 29, 1899. Serial No. 742,009. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES MICHAEL CAM- MACK, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State ofNew Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Apparatus for HeatingCurling-Irons, &c., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to apparatus for heating ladies curling-tongs in atube to protect them from being soiled by the smoke from theheating-flame and to the manner of attaching said apparatus to aheating-burner, such as a gas-tip; and it consists in certain elementsand combinations of elements fully set forth and claimed in thisspecification.

In order that persons skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains may understand, construct, and use my invention, I willproceed to describe it, referring to the drawings herewith, in which-Figure 1 is a side elevation of my apparatus attached to a gas-tip. Fig.2 is a top view of the same, showing the heating-tube in dotted linesswung off the line of the gas-flame when not in use.

A is the heating-tube.

C is an eye or loop which supports tube A, at one end thereof.

B is an upright rod having a circular tapering bottom pivot D, whichrests in a cii cular tapering socket F at the end of an arm E, and whicharm E carries a thimble G, internally tapered to fit the outer taper ofan ordinary gas tip or burner. This thimble G is slitted at H to enablethe user after slip? ping the thimble over the gas-tip by pressing downupon it to give a tight hold of gastip I.

It will be understood that the whole apparatus is adjustable and easilyremovable and readily applied by any one without any tools. It isadjustable at socket F, so that the tube A can be swung away from thegas-flame when not in use and still hot, and removable by lifting therod B and pivot D out of socket F when it cools. The holder-arm E andthimble G can be left upon the burner I perma nently or the wholeapparatus can be removed each time after use. The tube A is flattenedmore or less at the end L to conform to the shape of the curling-tongs Knear their hinge or pivot.

Having now fully described my invention and the manner in which I haveembodied it, what I claim as new and as my invention, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-- The within-described apparatus forheating ladies curling-tongs consisting of an arm E provided with athimble G at its inner end, and a socket F at its outer end; upright rodB provided with pivot D at its lower end and adapted to rest and swingin socket F and at its upper end provided with a loop 0, adapted tosupport aheating-tube A, all arranged constructed and combined whensecured to a gas-tip as I to be swung over and away from the gas-flamefrom a point eccentric to the said gas tip or burner substantially asspecified.

Signed at Summit, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, this18th day of December, A. D. 1899.
